Kevin Costner Is Starring In the Guillermo del Toro-Produced ‘Midnight Delivery’
Hot off Man of Steel, Kevin Costner is in negotiations to star in Midnight Delivery for Universal Pictures, Deadline reports the week of the San Diego Comic-Con.
Neil Cross, who co-wrote Universal’s Mama and is creator of the BBC series “Luther,” has written the screenplay based on an original idea by Guillermo del Toro.
The logline is being held tight to the vest, but it’s a thriller stemming from an original idea by del Toro, who is producing with David Linde for the latter’s Lava Bear Films. An update at Movieweb says “the story centers on a desperate father who reluctantly becomes a drug mule in order to save the life of his son.”
Gary Ungar and Tory Metzger will serve as executive producers, and Russell Ackerman will co-executive produce.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
